Stater

正面描述	Chimera walking left atop a ground line, rendered in high relief with finely detailed musculature; the creature raises its right forepaw and its leonine head is turned to face left, with an elaborately maned neck. A serpentine tail curls upward to the right, and a solar symbol — depicted as a small radiate disc — appears above the creature's back. The ethnic abbreviation ΣΕ (for Σικυώνιων) is inscribed in the lower field between the forepaws and the ground line, identifying the issuing city-state of Sikyon.

附加信息	Sikyon occupied an unusual position among Peloponnesian poleis — politically pressured by both Macedon and the Achaean League across successive generations, yet maintaining an unbroken local coinage tradition of remarkable consistency. This stater falls within the period immediately following Philip II's reorganization of Greek affairs after Chaironeia in 338 BC, when many poleis quietly continued issuing silver under Macedonian hegemony without explicit interference. Sikyon was among them. The BCD specimen referenced here passed through the Leu auction of the BCD Peloponnesos collection in 2012, which remains the definitive reference sale for this series.
